● Ensure that both the processors are installed.
● The processor must use a GPU kit low-profile heat sink module.
● To ensure adequate cooling when one or more GPUs are installed, the ambient inlet temperature is restricted to 30°C for
CPU 150 W/8 C, 165 W/12 C, 200 W, 205 W. For more information, see the www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals section.
● Ensure that the GPU enablement kit is available.
The GPU enablement kit includes:
○
GPU air shroud
○ Mylar
○ Riser 3A or 3B
○ GPU cable for riser 3A or 3B
○ GPU cable for riser 2A or 2E or 2D or 2F
○ Riser 2A or 2E or 2D or 2F
○ Riser 1A or 1D
○ GPU cable for riser 1A or 1D
○ Two 1U processor and heat sink modules and two CPU clips
○ Six high performance cooling fans
● All GPUs must be of the same type and model.
● You can install up to three double-wide or six single-wide GPUs.
